jon: fox news is americas's election headquarters. less than 100 days to go now until election day. a new poll finds president obama has his work cut out for him. a "gallup poll" finds mr. obama's approvalling rating below 50% in 37 of the 50 states. that is significant because post-world war ii incumbent presidents above the 50% mark on re-election day were easily reelected. those below that mark had uncertain prospects. talk about it with jonah goldberg the editor-at-large for "the national review." he is also a fox news contributor. 37 states, mr. obama is under the 50% mark. what does that say to you, jonah? >> well, jon, it's bad news for obama but it is not a prophecy of doom either. historically the general rule of thumb is that come election day if you're below 50% that the undecideds are going to tend to break for the challenger because people know who barack obama is. they have gotten to know him. he is not a unknown quantity anymore and what basically voters are waiting for is to be persuaded to vote against him. so the longer he goes under 50% the more likely it is that
